A team of engineers from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has developed a soft robotics system capable of detecting damage and initiating self-repair, similar to the way human muscle and skin respond to injury. The research, presented at a robotics conference in Atlanta, may have applications in areas such as wearable technology and agricultural robotics.
Bangladesh, often overlooked in global tech discussions, has quietly cultivated a thriving robotics culture, particularly for young women.
US-based robotics firm Apptronik has secured $350 million in a recent funding round, spearheaded by B Capital and Capital Factory, with additional backing from Google’s parent company Alphabet. The funding will be used to scale production of the company’s humanoid robot, Apollo, which is designed to automate tasks in supply chains, such as moving packages in warehouses and manufacturing facilities.
A robot dog in South Korea has made history by becoming the first four-legged robot to complete a full-length marathon without needing to recharge its batteries. Named RAIBO2, the advanced quadrupedal robot, developed by researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), covered the 42-kilometer distance of the Sangju Dried Persimmon Marathon in a time of 4 hours, 19 minutes, and 52 seconds.
A total of 45 participants participated in hands-on learning, assembling complete robotic systems with arms, grippers, servos, and sensors, securing them to the base, and wiring to Arduino and power sources.
